Sunday, December 8th: God with Us: Our Shepherd On this second Sunday in Advent, we’ll remember that God is with us as our Shepherd, who carries us close to his heart. God has come to our rescue in the person of Jesus, and has forgiven our sins. And God continues to lead and guide us, and even carries us, as a gentle but strong shepherd carries his lambs over rough terrain. Let’s keep encouraging each other with those promises of love, forgiveness, and the truth, which we’re called to share with the world!
